    The cut-scenes are more compelling than the gameplay and this is not a good thing for a game.
    Game as a narrative media is feasible, but this is more like a long TV drama than a game when the gameplay is minimal and tedious.
    No joy in playing a boring delivery mission over and over. BTW, the gist of the story is nothing new but a lecturing from a highbrow elite...Kojima just want to say    The cut-scenes are more compelling than the gameplay and this is not a good thing for a game.

    The lack of gameplay (and yes the gameplay has problems even for his peculiar vision of pacing/progression) can be balanced with superb atmosphere,writing, and innovative ideas.
    Well, actually the ideas are just "kind of" original in the intentions (but not revolutionary) and they aren't properly integrated; plus the story is pretentious and dumb many many many times.

    Very disappointed with this game, I was expecting something more than a glorified walking simulator. Graphics are great, but absolutely no sustainable gameplay. Walking across America just doesn’t cut it.

    Worst AAA you've ever played, ruined by game-play mechanics and cut-scenes.
    Good thing about this game is 7/10 from graphic but not Horizon zero dawn level even though they're using same engine.

    Comprei, juro que tentei pessoal, mas não dá não... Dropei 4 horas depois nesta madrugada.
    So os gráficos e as músicas salvam, de resto, um belo simulador de sono.
    Vou é tentar pedir reembolso, por que isso aqui não dá mesmo não, joguei mesmo meu dinheiro fora.

    Unplayable. This isn't even a game. I spent 5 minutes out of the first hour actually controlling my character, and the rest in cut scenes. I have played JRPGs. I have completed Skyrim 100%. I am no stranger to laborious tasks in video games if they have a goal. This however is just laborious tasks for the sake of laborious tasks. What a waste of Sony's money.

    Nothing extra funny. Super long cinematics, boring gameplay. Action is absolutely awful. 4 points for graphics

    It is strange that a genius did not understand that in the open world there should be a bandage to study it, the world should not be empty and there must be exciting gameplay otherwise boredom and walking, and I can watch videos in YouTube, well, it’s clearly not worth the money !! !

    It sucks and it is not creative at all. It’s a walking simulator, UPS simulator, and a boring game.

    Entediante. A necesside de tentar se provar que é um cineasta, atrapalha a real entrega de que é necessaria na area de games. Infelizmente o hype foi excessivo e essa idolatria com Kojima é desnecessário.

    This game is very boring, confused and tedious, the main mechanics in the game is just walking, the combats are very simple (if you can find some combat).
    Graphically the game is really impressive and the cut scenes and landscape are beautiful, the sound as well, but the rest is a waste of time and money

    toma elementos prestados de juegos como BREATH OF THE WILD, SHADOW OF COLOSSUS, ICO, STAR HAWK, METAL GEAR SURVIVAL, etc... es una decepcion de un juego hecho por un hombre egocentrico de una sola saga, que logro grandes cosas con un buen equipo de trabajo esperemos que su proximo proyecto sea menos pretencioso y mejor trabajado en algunos meses el juego se parcha o pasa al olvido    … Expand

    Primero quiero aclarar que no soy hater de Kojima.
    Soy fan o mejor dicho soy fan del trabajo de Kojima hasta metal gear 4. Llegué a culpar a Konami por el juego incompleto y repetitivo que fue MGS 5, pensé que ellos orillaron a Hideo a hacer ese juego incompleto y repetitivo.

    Como fan confié ciegamente en en Death Stranding.
    No quise ver ningún video de gameplay hasta que saliera el juego pues Erróneamente pensé qur Kojima haría algo extraordinario.

    Cuando comencé a jugar Death Stranding dije..Ok todo bien en el inicio. Mientras avancé en la trama y ví que solo era cargar paquetes, correr de la lluvia, pasar despedido con las sombras esas y correr de las Mulas....me desesperé.
    Dos días fueron suficientes. No quiero jugarlo más.
    Que aburrimiento......

    Es que siempre he pensado que ser fan no es lo mismo que ser estúpido.

    No entiendo de donde sacan que es buen juego???

    Que tiene de entretenido cargar cosas y que si se te caen se dañan???
    Las mulas solo arrojan granadas desde lejos y eso que estoy jugando en modo difícil.

    Y todavía dice Kojima que si no nos gustó es porque no lo entendimos.... Vaya ego!!!

    Es fácil.... quien diga que es bueno un juego cuyo gameplay consiste en cargar cosas de un lado a otro, tiene el cerebro como Homero. “Yummy Yummy Yummy, te lo voy a decir y espero que te gustará”    … Expand

    Never been more disappointed with a game in my life! It’s a delivery simulator with hardly anything interesting. I tried my best to enjoy it but the only thing attention grabbing is the graphics. Don’t waste your money.

    Wait till the price drops if you really wanna throw to the trash your money. Broken, boring and long cinematics. Almost 0 gameplay. You can kill bosses pressing the same button. If you wanna know watch cinematics just go to YouTube is free there.

    I fell asleep playing, and I'm serious!
    Long cutscenes!
    Walking for hours to talk to holograms is not my style.

    I really wanted to like this game but it is so boring. I have 25 hours in so far and still so boring. If you like action adventure games this aint it chief. If you like slow paced games then this is the game for you. It is not a fun game but the story is very interesting.

    Who didn't see this coming? We saw the 1 hour "gameplay" session, where there was 5 minutes of gameplay and 55 minutes of cutscenes. If you like boring fun then go for this game if you like traditional fun, you know the only fun I know stay far away from this tedious boring masterpiece.

    Interesting story bits here and there....but not a good game... Nobody bats 1.000 and this is a big whiff for me. Walking simulator to deliver to a hologram, cut scene, then do it again. If this game was on steam for 60$ by an indie developer, it would have nothing but negative reviews.

    Death Stranding is a repetitive game, the scenario is like low-budget nanar movies. Only 2 charismatic characters are the others to make pretty . The gameplay is always the same thing, delivered packages from point a to point b. The animation is worthy of a PS2 game. Only the mysterious side of the game is excellent.

    Una mentira de juego, como se sabía de qué se anunció. Kojima no tiene respeto el tiempo de sus fans, guarda tu dinero por un juego que realmente merezca la pena.

    Death Stranding is creating a new game genre and therefore paves its own path towards more interactive experiences. It is a brave work thanks to its novelty, which fortunately is not a bragging right for its creators, as it may have seemed, but an exceptional title that will reward the brave who play it.

    This game does manage to be fun, even if it is one of the heaviest experiences of 2019. Everything from story to gameplay is begging to be dissected, filled with imagery and symbolism -- just like so many Kojima games before this one. Entering Death Stranding, it’s likely that we all thought Kojima’s calling card was lengthy cutscenes and stealth and action gameplay.

    Death Stranding stands as a powerful author’s game which drives a strong message of how our over-connected society is evolving, and how we can help other players. Unlike many AAA games, it shines on a truly spiritual level. Well written, engaging and visually magnificent, it offers, despite some pacing flaws, an astonishing solo game with elegant multiplayer elements. A unique representation of Hideo Kojima’s talent.
